The Lakeside Resort
Overview
The Lakeside Resort offers a tranquil escape in the heart of British Columbia's wine country. Situated directly on the shores of Tuc-el-Nuit Lake, this destination provides a serene alternative to the busier tourism hubs of the Okanagan. Travelers find a well-maintained property that balances modern convenience with a natural, lakeside charm. It is an ideal base for exploring the unique desert landscape of the South Okanagan while enjoying direct water access on one of the region's warmest lakes.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in Oliver, BC, the resort is surrounded by the rolling hills and lush vineyards that define the Wine Capital of Canada. The park sits on a non-motorized lake, ensuring a quiet atmosphere free from the noise of powerboats or heavy wake. Visitors are treated to stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the Okanagan Valley, with the town center of Oliver just a short drive away for local shopping, essential supplies, and orchard-fresh fruit stands.
Amenities & Park Features
The resort features a variety of site options, including full hookup RV sites with 30-amp service and manicured grassy areas. Guests have exclusive access to a private sandy beach and a safe, dedicated swimming area, making it easy to cool off during the hot summer days. On-site facilities include the following:
- Clean washrooms and hot showers
- Coin-operated laundry facilities
- A playground for children
- A private wharf for launching kayaks and paddleboards
The presence of large, mature trees provides much-needed shade across the property, creating a comfortable environment for outdoor relaxation and evening meals.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the water, the region is famous for its world-class wineries, with dozens of award-winning vineyards located within minutes of the park. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at the nearby Nk'Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course or Fairview Mountain. For those who prefer land-based recreation, the Oliver Hike and Bike Trail follows the river and offers a flat, scenic path for all skill levels. Nature lovers should also visit the nearby Vaseux Lake for exceptional birdwatching and wildlife photography opportunities.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is a premier choice for families and couples seeking a peaceful waterfront retreat. Because the lake is non-motorized, it is particularly well-suited for those who enjoy paddling and quiet reflection on the water. It is also an excellent fit for wine aficionados who want a central home base for touring local cellars. Those traveling with pets will appreciate the welcoming environment, making it a top selection for travelers looking for a relaxed, resort-style atmosphere in the South Okanagan.

My family camped at Lakeside for the 1st time in 1964, when I was a 1 year old. Have come back almost every Summer since. Nice beach area with lots of trees for shade. No power boats so it's quiet and peaceful. Safe to kayak, swim, etc. family friendly.

A wonderful campground and resort on Tucelnuit lake, in Oliver. Very crowded and busy, but such a friendly atmosphere. Lots of wineries nearby to visit. We love camping here and enjoying the lake.

We had a camp site there for 3 nights. Really enjoyed it there. They did have events for the kids on a couple of the days. Washrooms were kept clean, and the outside was very clean. Nice beach. Nice and quiet at night. Staff were really great.

We can’t say enough good things about the staff here!! We have been coming here for 5-6 years now and have THE BEST experience every single time. From booking our reso each season, checking in, any needs during our stay, and checking out, the team here have been incredibly accommodating, understanding, and genuinely just a delight to deal with. We have also tented and stayed in multiple rooms and have really enjoyed each experience. And to top it all off, you have a hot tub and private beach access all within a few steps from your door! (And great golf across the street!) We will continue to come back and highly recommend booking your stay in Oliver here. Thank you once again for an incredible weekend, Team Lakeside!
